“A great local pub is engrained in UK culture and a vital part of any British holiday.

We’re lucky to have such incredible establishments across the UK, offering good quality food and drink that showcase local life and support small businesses.

It’s interesting to discover that the cheapest pints are hidden in the pubs of Buckingham, we certainly weren’t expecting that.

Holidaymakers need to make sure they take enough money if they’re heading to some of the more expensive watering holes. We hope this guide will allow users to find out a little bit more about a pub either near them or where they are going on holiday”.
